Speaker Series: Whale Entanglements in the Monterey Bay

Join us for an exhilarating and robust discussion about whale entanglements in the Monterey Bay! Save Our Shores will team up with expert panelists from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Marine Life Studies, and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to discuss this important topic. Together we will dive into the work being done at the local, state, and federal level to protect the whales of the Monterey Bay, and meet some of the amazing people that work everyday with stakeholders around the region to reduce the number of whale entanglements and rescue those that have been entangled.
